2017 Color of the Year: YG25

Welcome! Did you know that Pantone chooses a color of the year? This year's color happens to be--are you ready for it?--Greenery, or in Copic-speak, that's YG25. I had a darling MFT Stamps Polynesian Paradise stamp set and dies that I'd never used, and that little lizard or gecko was just begging to be 2017's Color of the Year!

Shown above are the Copic Sketch markers colors that I used to color the Polynesian Paradise images. To give him some texture, I used a colorless blender to add spots on top of my dry green ink. I airbrushed the background, and listed those Copic colors as well.

For the background, I used MFT Sour Apple cardstock, stamped in Green Room dye ink. I used X-Press It foam tape to raise my layers and give the images some added dimension. Let me know in the comments section if you'd like to see more about creating the airbrushed background, okay? Thanks for stopping by today, and go color some GREEN! ;-)
